Install

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

When installing programs, for both Chocolatey and Winget, I get a popup with "Set password for Admin". When I enter the password for the currently logged in user, it says "Error setting password!". It does this for anything you put into the box. It refuses to continue with the installation.

export.json

Completely fresh install of windows 11. Nothing appears in the log, except Queueing [programname] from [package manager]

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

  1. Run irm "https://christitus.com/win" | iex
  2. Import export.json
  3. Click "Install/Upgrade Applications"

❌ Paste the full error output (if available).
